However, I was not surprised to find that my credit card had been charged a higher tip than we wrote in. I was suspicious of the bill because the charge slip was different from the first time we visited, and I made a note to check later. So, watch out for that. Otherwise the food was pretty decent. The curry chicken and the crab stuffed mahi were particularly good. The key lime pie and crab mac and cheese were just meh.

You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does and takes pride in creating a great experience for her guests.

If you're lucky enough to grab a seat at her bar, you're in great hands. Thank you, Laura, for helping make our trip so special!

The Beach Bar is what I consider the quintessential beach bar and overall the best experience I had…read morewhile on the island. I stopped in here twice, once for happy hour and for dinner. The location and ambience are nice. The bar is located on the beach and right in the town square area. It had a super fun and airy vibe, not too kitschy, just somewhere that you want to hang and chill The food was all amazing and blew my expectation out of the water. The fish basket was my favorite dish of the night. It was well breaded and lightly friend and hit the spot, and the fried shrimp was a close second. Another great factor was how reasonably priced everything was and how I felt like I was getting my moneys worth. 10/10 experience

If you're visiting St. John, make sure The Longboard is on your list…read more We've been coming every spring for years, and Korena somehow remembers our names and favorite drinks, making us feel like regulars even after a year away. The Longboard's creative cocktails, specifically the Swell Chaser and Paloma Brava, are perfectly crafted. The ceviche, Shrimp Tostones, and Isla Verde poke bowl are fresh, bright, and delicious. We've never been disappointed -- the food is always on point, and the service is always welcoming. Even though the restaurant isn't right on the beach, it absolutely has the vibe. It's comfortable and inviting -- the perfect stop after a day in the sun for happy hour and light bites or a relaxed dinner in a laid-back island setting.

The Longboard is great! Not a five-star for me, but it just doesn't "excel" at anything. Our…read moreservice was great, the clean dining area was great, the food was great...it was great. Having said that, it's a beach bar vibe like most places. Open-air seating, no AC, and beach club motif. In this case, it's a one-page menu of food and drinks, serving ceviche, sushi wraps, and poke bowls...that's it. Some appetizers, but that's the menu as you'll see in pics. We ordered an F-bomb frozen drink that was COMPLETELY refreshing on a warm day. Happy hour is early 2:00-4:00, so know that if going for dinner. For entrees, I got a Tropical Poke bowl with tuna (they also offer two other kinds of fish). It was chock-full of pineapple, pickled onions, sushi rice, and other goodies. In other words, a typical fresh poke bowl. Our other entree was a jerk chicken lettuce wrap with chili flakes that was really good and deceptively filling. At the end of the day, this was a great meal and atmosphere, and we would return if we have exhausted all options in Cruz Bay.

I ended up showing up early so I was only able to see and try the breakfast menu and drinks, so those are the only items I can rate Ambiance: 5 stars. It's an open floor plan right on the dock. We were able to sit right next to the water and get some fresh air. The place isn't too loud, but very inviting. They have a bottomless mimosa option and this place feels like it would be a great brunch vibe Service: 4 stars. Staff was super nice and waitress was helpful in regards of what to order. There was an issue with steak being overcooked and they were able to replace it, but it did take taking to 3 different people, which I thought was weird Drinks: 3.5 stars. The Rum away with me was absolutely wonderful, but the White Russian was not good at all Food : 4.5 stars Steak and eggs was fantastic. We had to get the steak recooked, but when it was made well, it was a top shelf steak. Crab cakes: also would recommend! No notes here Breakfast burger:,really loved the fact that the patty was smashed. I was worried that there was too much going on but everything combined quite nicely. I got the breakfast potatoes and they weren't really anything special. Overall this place was a 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 5 because the vibe and views were immaculate

We sat outside-unfortunately it was raining but I can see why people would come here on sunny days! Our dinner was good-I had fish tacos which were delicious and the fish pieces were very large. I subbed out fries for a salad-which was the largest side salad I have ever gotten in any restaurant! The highlight of the night was the Sangria-wow was that delicious! Our server was very friendly. One negative, our receipt had already included gratuity and when they handed me receipt, there was another blank line asking for gratuity (again!) and showing % options. This is very deceiving. Read carefully so you don't accidentally double tip! Oh, and there is an additional 3.5% non cash convenience fee. Thank you!

The bartenders make lots of delicious treats - some of them being assorted cellos - we tried the lemon cello and the chocolate cello. So good!! Extra virgin is obviously Italian, so if you're craving handmade pastas, go here. They also make their own cheeses and charcuterie meats in house. This place does not mess around.
